Aigua per al SAHEL
Organització No Guvernamental per al Desenvolupament

The Sahel is a large region in Africa, characterized by barrenness and suffocating heat, that marks the transition between the tropics and the Sahara desert.
Aigua per al Sahel (‘Water for the Sahel’), an NGO that was founded in 1991, relies on unpaid, voluntary work and does not incur in any administrative expenses. Therefore, nearly 100% of the funds raised are channelled directly to Burkina Faso, in the Sahel Region
We finance cooperatives and rural associations that carry out diverse hydraulic projects that they have themselves designed.
We believe that the local populations must be involved in the construction, maintenance and management of the wells.
We organize activities throughout Catalonia in order to make people aware of what daily life is like in the Sahel. We feel that solidarity consists in walking together, in learning from the people with whom we cooperate.
